Outstanding dissertation in journalism studies ICA award

Deadline for nominations: March 1, 2020

The Journalism Studies Division of ICA recognizes every year a doctoral dissertation research that explains, enlightens, inspires, and improves the practice and study of journalism and communication. The winning dissertation should seek and reveal new insights, and reinforce the Journalism Studies Division’s stated aims for “scholarly effort that advances our understanding of how journalism works; and helps clarify, define and question core ideas in our field, such as news, media and journalism.” The award is open to a diversity of methods and topics within journalism studies.

The nominated work must have been completed and defended within the two years prior to the award year (e.g., 2018/2019 for the award in 2020). All application materials must be in English. Each nomination should include: 1) an 8-10 page summary of the dissertation with no author-identifying information, addressing a) the problem addressed by the work; (b) its theoretical framework; (c) the method used; (d) key findings; (e) and a statement explaining its contribution to journalism studies; 2) a copy of the full doctoral dissertation (author-identifying information should be included); and 3) two supporting letters from faculty mentors. One of these letters must be a nomination from the graduate student’s degree advisor that includes a statement articulating the impact of the nominated dissertation and its contribution to the field of journalism studies. All materials must be submitted as PDF files.

The nomination period closes March 1, 2020. Please send PDF nomination materials via email to the chair of the selection committee, David Domingo ((David.Domingo /at/ ulb.ac.be) <mailto:(David.Domingo /at/ ulb.ac.be)>).
